What to Expect Tesla AIissolvingrobust, real-world AI through humanoid robots.As a Software Engineer for the Optimus team, you will build the tools and infrastructure to make and measure improvements to neural network architecture, visualize data,assistwith exporting and deploying neural networks toTesla'sneural network chip with real-time latency constraints on Optimus, and evaluate experimental results. You will help us automate the entire workflows of training, validation, and production ofOptimus. Most importantly, you will see your work repeatedly shipped to andutilizedby thousands of Humanoid Robots in real world applications.

What You'll Do

Optimize ML models for latency, memory usage, and inference speed

Quantize, prune, and convert models (e.g., to ONNX, TensorRT, TFLite) for deployment on various platforms (cloud, edge, mobile)

Benchmark and profile model performance across different environments

Package and deploy models as REST APIs, batch jobs, or streaming services using tools like FastAPI, Flask, or gRPC

Implement CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment of ML models

Ensure scalability and reliability of ML services in production environments

What You'll Bring

Strong proficiency in Python and PyTorch

Experience with model optimization tools (e.g., ONNX, TensorRT, TFLite, TVM)

Experience with model inference optimization and quantization

Solid understanding of containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)

Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and serverless deployments

Strong grasp of software engineering principles and CI/CD pipelines

Experience deploying models to edge devices or mobile platforms

Knowledge of data serialization formats (e.g., protobuf, Avro)

Exposure to observability tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) for ML monitoring
